We have more than 250 people playing more than 50 games in a three-day period. Because of these time constraints, we need to have at least six copies circulating to ensure that all of the judges have a chance to play the games. It is not uncommon for all of the games to be in play at the same time.

Unfortunately, no — even if you're a Mensan. We pride ourselves on objective evaluation of each game; judges are even discouraged from discussing their opinions amongst themselves. While we are positive that you wouldn't unduly influence even one judge, we just can't take that chance.

We want consumers to be able to go out and purchase Mensa Select® winners as soon as they are announced. Further, judges rate games on several items, including aesthetics; you will want to enter your game in its final form to optimize your score in that category.
